Allow managers to MANAGE STUDIOS

ContagiousAnimations

I'm not sure what the point was of changing the studios so drastically, it only hurt the studios. I don't think we've even had so much as an explanation as to why??? Scratch, please repair the studios!

I disagree with the manager change, but they gave an explanation for many of the changes:

This big decision was made due to internal and budget issues, and that kind of stuff can override wishes of a majority and even the ST, at times.

The previous system with having unlimited comments was contributing to lag, especially for studios that were constantly refreshed and had long comment chains. It's not an easy decision to make, but we have to put in place to prevent things from lagging further.

Support! I've been thinking the same. And if the managers are abusing the power, they could make the owner a toggle on and off button not for projects or comments but for if the managers can access the desc or not

Alright fair enough but almost a year ago doesn’t seem very recent

So? People can still discuss about this suggestion because it is still relevant, though I'd agree that people have moved on, and if the ST reimplements this, it would be very controversial.

Half support. There should be an option for the owner to toggle this, in my opinion.

That's what I said. We should have a toggle for the owner only so if a manager is abusing the desc, they can turn it off using the toggle.

Yeah I agree there are now arguments about it and it totally sucks

5.4 Revert back to older versions of the studio pages
The Scratch website has to update sometimes to accommodate certain changes. In particular, the Scratch 3.0 studio pages were created to improve website performance and the studio experience. Changing the studio pages back to these older versions would not only undo months of hard work by the Scratch Team, but they also may not be sustainable in the long run anymore. More information on why these changes were made are stated in this topic, and frequently asked questions are listed in this topic.

This includes reverting back the less restrictive manager limits, so, this suggestion is therefore rejected.

(Note that this 5.4 only applies to changing studios back to their old versions, not adding new features, like the toggle idea mentioned above)
